The lunatics have taken over the asylum! Not a book to be taken too seriously, IMO, although it touches on some profound philosophical thoughts.

Dan Starkey investigates the birth of a new Messiah on a small island off the coast of Ireland.

At first it’s just funny for Dan and Trish, but fairly soon th
